Enough is Enough Voter Project Launches Into Action to Take On Alleged Sexual Abusers Running for Office

New PAC plans to “put rape culture on the ballot across the country.”

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ —Enough is Enough Voter Project is a new political action committee that launches today, working in collaboration with Women’s March Sister Network, with the goal of making violence against women a voting issue. The Enough is Enough Voter Project will focus on candidates in this year’s election who have failed to stand with women on the issue of sexual harassment and sexual violence. The Project is being led by the team that successfully recalled Judge Aaron Persky, who sentenced Stanford swimmer Brock Turner to just 6 months in county jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster at a fraternity party.

“It’s time to end a culture that protects the careers of powerful men who abuse women or other survivors, and put this issue before the voters. We are going to put rape culture on the ballot across the country,” says Michele Dauber, who led the Recall Persky campaign and is the Chair of the Board of Enough is Enough Voter Project.

One such candidate is Tennessee State Representative David Byrd, a former high school basketball coach who was recently accused by three women of having sexually abused them when they were ages 15 and 16, while they played for the team he coached. Byrd has not denied the allegations and recently apologized to one of the players for his conduct. Despite bipartisan calls for him to resign, he refused and is currently running for re-election.

“There are numerous politicians who have been accused of serious sexual misconduct or abuse,” according to Emiliana Guereca, Board Member of Enough is Enough Voter Project, and Founder & Executive Director of Women’s March Los Angeles. “It is unacceptable that these men face no meaningful consequences from law enforcement, the government or their political party. We are saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We will vote them out!”

One innovative feature of the Enough is Enough effort is the “Report a Candidate” button on the group’s website, which provides a portal for individuals to share information and links about candidates in local communities who have a poor track record on #MeToo issues. Enough is Enough will look into the reported candidates as possible candidates for voter action.

Enough is Enough is working with pollster Celinda Lake, who has conducted polling on the subject of #MeToo. “Research shows that voters, especially women and younger voters, have very serious doubts about candidates with a history of sexual harassment or violence against women. Yet until now, there really hasn’t been any group that was dedicated to pushing this forward as a voting strategy. I think this is an organization that is filling an important need and that could make a real impact.”

Eleanor Smeal, the President of the Feminist Majority, also lauded the group’s efforts, saying that, “The nomination of someone who has been credibly accused of sexual assault to the Supreme Court, where, if he is confirmed, will rule on the fates and futures of women shows how important it is to ensure that sexual violence is treated seriously and that abusers are held accountable and do not hold public office.”

About Enough is Enough Voter Project

The #EnoughIsEnough Voter Project is focusing on candidates for public office who—in both public and private life—have turned against women on the issues of sexual harassment or violence against women and children. Some of these candidates are overtly misogynistic bullies. Others have been personally accused of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, domestic violence, and sexual abuse of teenage students by a teacher.

We’re saying “enough is enough” by standing up to bullies in Congress, in state legislatures, in the media, and at the ballot box. We conduct research, provide public information, and oppose politicians who have a poor track record on issues of violence against women and sexual assault. #EnoughisEnough Voter Project will hold politicians accountable and ensure violence against women is part of the national conversation this November and in future elections.

Women’s March: “There Is No Place For a Sexual Abuser on SCOTUS”

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Brett Kavanaugh has reportedly been accused of sexual misconduct in a confidential letter sent by Sen. Dianne Feinstein to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Bob Bland, Women’s March Board Member, released the following statement on the troubling allegations:

“Everything is on the line for American women with this nomination — our lives, our birth control, our healthcare. It’s no surprise that a President famous for abusing women and bragging about it nominated someone so anti-woman, but that Brett Kavanaugh also has a potential pending sexual misconduct case is horrifying. We demand that the US Senate postpone their vote on Brett Kavanaugh until Americans get the truth.”

“If Brett Kavanaugh is a sexual abuser, there is no place for him on the Supreme Court. Women deserve answers, and the US Senate has a responsibility to ensure that Brett Kavanaugh is NOT a sexual abuser before voting on his nomination. As Californians, we applaud Sen. Feinstein for forwarding this important information to the FBI, but that isn’t enough. This is the #MeToo era, and any Senator who thinks they can sweep this under the rug will get a rude awakening come election day. Elected officials will be held accountable. There is no place for sexual misconduct in the workplace.”

Throughout Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, more than 200 women and allies were arrested voicing their distress over the threat he poses to America. Direct actions escalated daily, and most were arrested for disrupting the hearings themselves, and for occupying the offices of Senators who were not doing enough to halt the process.

Women’s March Los Angeles Teams Up with National Women’s Political Caucus South Bay to Host “South Bay Pledge to Vote Rally” – Saturday, September 22, 2018 at Columbia Park in Torrance, CA

The first of three Women’s March Los Angeles events centering around National Voter Registration Day (9/25), all aimed to inspire and empower

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Over 50 years ago, the milestone piece of legislation, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, was passed, upholding the fifteenth amendment of the Constitution and granting the right to vote to every eligible American.

Women’s March Los Angeles(WMLA) is saluting this historical turning point with a week of action from September 22-29, centering around National Voter Registration Day (9/25). These events are geared toward individuals who stand up for human rights, voting rights, civil liberties, tolerance, and diversity.

On site to register eligible voters will be Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder, Dean Logan, and his team.

“There are people who are risking their lives and the lives of their children to come to this country for freedom,” says Emiliana Guereca, Founder & Executive Director of WMLA. “Don’t you think we should risk a little traffic to vote for ours? Everyone’s future is at stake!”

Women’s March Los Angeles(WMLA) coordinated efforts to bus in women across the country to the senate floor of Washington DC on September 4. Shouting strong-minded chants and waving robust signs, the protestors disrupted the Kavanaugh hearings every few minutes.

“Hundreds of women prepared to get arrested to prevent these hearings from moving forward,” the Women’s March stated on their Twitter.

And arrested they did… over 30 women in fact! This included actress Piper Perabo and UltraViolet’s executive director and co-founder Shaun Thomas, as they boldly voiced their rejection of Kavanaugh’s nomination, fearing that he would vote to overturn the 1973 landmark abortion case, Roe vs. Wade.

“Appointment of Kavanaugh would be disastrous for women, workers and the environment,” states Emiliana Guereca, WMLA Founder & Executive Director.

Today, WMLA is urging everyone to keep the pressure on by taking action! Write to your Senators and tell them why you urge them to #CancelKavanaugh. Flood their inboxes! Click on the Kavanaugh Confirmation Tracker to see if your Senator has announced their decision.

About:

Hagar Elaziz began La Fleur Bouquets in 2015, following a visit to Downtown LA’s Flower Market. She started to experiment with different display options for the peach roses she bought her mother, and instead of presenting the flowers in a glass vase, she meticulously arranged the roses inside a white box.

Positive responses from her family and friends inspired Hagar to start a website and Instagram page, and thus, La Fleur was officially born!

Soon after, Hagar realized her work was deserving of a longer shelf-life and so she concocted a signature technique that allows the roses to last for one year, sans any water.
